MONEY MARKET AND cOMMICLCIAL INTELLIGENCE, Cl l'Y, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Money is still actively enquired after by mer chants and others, who, in addition to ordinary requirements, have now to balance their taix months' accounts. The brokers are charging 6 per cent. for the negotiation of the best paper, and as this quota tion is the minimum at the Bank, it is no wonder that the authorities should transact the greater proportion of the business brought forward. Tnere was an influx of £BO,OOO in gold at the BAnk yestErday. The Virginia has arrived from New York with £95 I€O. The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Produe9 Markets during the last few days have been very restricted, Sugars have barely sustained former rates. Tea has been duli, while in coffee, rice, fruit, and species the dealing have been of quite a ret dl character. Tallow has ben dull and quotations for both present and forward delivery have tended-downwards, Tne operations at the Bank of England during the week to Wednesday last have been important, and the alterations in many of the principal items have been very considerable, as will be seen by the following details : Active Circulation .. £20,6 1 2,925 Increase .• .. 520,195 .• .. 14,197,849 Decrease .• •• •• •• 12 1 ,212 Rest .. •• •• •• •• 3,328,361 Increase .. 24,9;6 Public Deposits .• • • .. 10,213,535 Increase .. 925,941 Other Deposits.. 12,800,244 Decrease .. 251,417 Seven Day and other Bills .. 460.631 Increase .. 8,0.4 Government Securities .. 11,121,267 No alreration.

The discounts have been increased by £3,280,000 ; the advances, by £13,200 ; and the notes, by £1,853 300. A diminution of £120,000 is exhibited in the cash in hand, but there has been an angmen• tation of £540,000 in the Treasury accounts, and of £844,400 in the current accounts. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 65i 85c. The English Sock market still exhibits much weakness, caused undoubtedly by the incertitude of political affairs. A de.:line of / per cent. has resulted this morning from sales, and Consols are quoted 90 I t for money, and 90k .1 for the account. The New Threes and R -Coned Annuities are 891 ; Innis 5 pet Cents., 104 k ; ditto 4 per Cents. 994; Enfaced 5 per Cents., 1.049 105; and the &oda, 133. to 203. dis. ,With the exception of the Confederate Loan, which has risen 2 per c9nt., to 64 66, Foreign Secu rities are depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 681 ex div. ; do., Consolides, 4841; Mexi can, 441 a ; Greek, 25t- a ; Spanish Passive, 29-1 a ; Portuguese, to 471 9; Peruvian, 85 86 ; Russian, 87* i; and Italian, 67 9. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been rather numerous, and a decided improvement has taken place in prices. Lancashire and Yorkshire and North Eastern (Berwick) have advanced 54. ; Great Eastern, 153 ; Caledonian, Black-wail, Mid land, and South Eastern, each LI ; Great Western, £1 53, ; and Great Northern, £2 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without Material alteration. Bulk and Miscellaneous Shares %re inactive, and show little change of importance in prices. Alliance have declined to 643; Chartered of India, Austra• lie, and China have improved to 391 ; and London Financial, to 27i 28; Ebbw Vale Compdnv shares are quoted t- prem. ; Birakar Tea, par v prem.; Maritime Credit, 11 2 prem.; London and Venezeula Bank, ot- prem.; and Caauiounix Udited Hotel, 1 1 prem.

The police sever saw a black eye like it be fore. The complainant would not appear when the pri soner was first brought up yesterday, and the magistrate remanded the case. The assault was clearly made out, and the prisoner, in his defence, said he was provoked. Mr Partridge said the prisoner had committed a most violent and brutal assault on the woman, and fined him £5. In default of payment three months' imprisonment. ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DOCK..—Thomas Ward, aged 52, a labourer, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with stealing of sugar, the property of the London Dock Company, his employers. The prisoner was leaving the dock at the principal gate, when a constable. named Francis Andus, took oft his cap and found in it a pound and a half of sugar. It was stated that the prisoner was convicted by Mr Wool rych some time ago for having fourteen ounces of tea in his possession, and sentenced to ten days' imprisonment. The prisoner managed to obtain employment in the dock again unknown to the priucipal authorities of the establish ment. He was seen by a constable a few weeks age, who warned him to be very careful, and said he would be closely watched. The prisoner, however, commenced pilfering again. Mr Partridge said the prisoner would obtain no more employment in the docks, and sentenced him to a month's imprisonment and hard labour. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A FRADULENT HORSE TRANSACTION.—CHARGE OF CONSFIRACY AGAINST A HORSE DEALER.—ISaaO True• man, of 15, South-street, Bethnal-green, horse dealer, was charged before Mr Knox on a warrant with unlawfully conspiring with others not in custody, and obtaining by means of false pretences a horse, value £3o, g from Mr Edmund Berry, with intent to defraud him. Mr Thomas Beard prose cuted. Mr Edmund Berry, fishmonger, 66, Charles-streen, Pentonville, said—On the 30th April last I had a bay geld ing for sale at Aldridge's Repository. It was bought in, not fetching the price set upon it. Several persons asked me the price. A man introduced me to the prisoner, say. ing, " Here's a gentleman who will buy your pony." The prisoner said, " I have been your pony, and it's just the thing to suit me to take my wife and child round the park. What is the price ?" I said £2O. Prisoner offered me £l9, but I refused. Pr soner then said that if I went with him he thought hey could make a bargain, and I went with him into a punlichouse at the corner of 5.,. Martin's-lane. On petting there prisoner said, " Pit give you a pound down as deposit, and if I approve of the pony, I will give you £l9 on Monday morning." I said I did not like that mode of transacting bu,inees, and he then said, "Do you doubt me? lam a respectable person and a corn chandler in Swan-street, Betenal-green. lam no judge of horses, although I have several ; but it it were 200 or 300 sacks of fl ewer I could judge of it. I have a private house at Victoria Park." He then paid me the sovereign, and said he would send his wan over tor the pony. I said, "Oh no; my man is here, and he will take it " My man took the pony, and I gave him certain instructions. On the Monday following I neither got my pony back nor the money which he promised, at the same time stating that if the pony was nut approved it should be returned. On the Monday I went and saw the prisoner walking up and down in front of a cornchandler's in Swan-street, and he said, on my asking him it he liked the pony,he did,and that he should not " part." The prisoner said he had to go to the Corn Ex change, that he was not prepared, but would call on Wed nesday and settle. At two on Wednesday I received a letter making an lippointment to meet me the same night. I went to the address prisoner gave on the day of the bar gain, and he was not known there. I afterwards saw him, and he said that things had gone rather hard, and wanted me to take a bill for 21 days, saying, " We transact all our business that way," but I declined to tske it or one for seven days. I have neither got my pony or money. By Mr Pater (for the prisoner)—l let the prisoner have the pony beCausa I thousli, be w..., a respeatiDlo man. I have taken the-e proceedings to obtain my money and as au example to other persons. He told me to do my best or worst, as he did not get his living by plying for tbings. I never had such a Zase beture and hope never shall again. Mr Knox—Certain repreaeotations were made to you which wdre— Mr Berry—The man who introduced the prisoner to me said tie was a neighbour, and kept a cornchandler'n shop, as also did the prisoner. A young man in the employ of Mr,Berry sail—On going into the publiehouse where my master and the prieoner - . were, the prisoner told him I was not wanted. My master told me to take the pony with the prisoner, who kept a corn chandler's shop in Swan-street. Prisoner told me to go on, and he would follow in a cab. We stuppod at the corner of the street, and a man like an ostler came running up. The man asked the prisoner it he should clean the puny, and he said " Yes." I asked the man if the prisoner was his master, and he said he was, and that he kept 20 horses and carts, ant let them out. I then let the pony go. Mr Edward Reed, lately horse►teeper, of Church• street, proved buying a pony of the prisoner on the Tuesday after. By Mr Pater —Prisoner sells corn and flour on commis sion for his father- n-law, who lives in Swan-street. By Mr Beard-1 am the nephew of the prisoner's father in-law. Prisoner attends fairs and buys horses. I have never known him to be in trouble during the last six or seven years. I have never known him to be charged with any offeoce. I d.in.'t know that he was committed trom the Worship •sti e, t Police ti( urt and tried at he sessions. Ser e eant Evans, 22 G—l took the prisoner into custody at Stapleton's florae Rep mitory, Live, pool-street, City. I have known the prisoner for years. Prisoner never had a corn chandler's shop, nor vans to let for hire. A remand was granted. BARKETS—This Day, MA Ea-LANE.

Her ladyship was the daughter of the first Baron T,i c ylmouth, who sue ceeded Lord Cornwallis as Governor-General of India. Her ladyship attained the age of seventy seven, and executed her will in 1854, and a codicil thereto in 1859; bequeathing, at the wish of her father and mother, the sum of £13,000 Consols in trust for two of lit.r nieces and two of her nephews; leaving a few other legacies to other of her relatives; also a logacy of £1,500 to her niece, the eldest daughter of her brother Lord Teignenouth, appointing his lordship residuary legatee. There is a legacy of £lOO to her own servant free of duty. The will of Frederick Richard Magenis, Esq , of Grosvenor-place, was proved in London by the executors and trustees, Sir Arthur Charles Mage nis, K C. 8.; Thomas F. Wallace, Esq., of St. James-street, Westminster; and William T. Car- lisle, E-q., of Lincoln's Inn—the personalty being sworn at £140,000. The will and first codicil are dated F b., 1861. There are altogether six codi cils, the last (Med March 31,1861, and the testator died on the 11th of the following month. After making liberal bequests,amounting to about £50,000, including legacies of £5OO to each of his executors, alB3 legacies to his servants—to one man-servant, £500; to his housekeeper, coachman and groom each £200; to all his other domestics legacies, and to his late butler an annuity ; also many charitable hi qucsts—he leaves the residue of his property to iris daughter, Eoz ibeth Florence, wife of James Wiliiam Bailie, E-q.

He desires that no money be taken from his share in the business but what may be absolutely necessary, and to bear an interest of 4:6 per cent, and that three months' notice be given to the partnership firm of any sums required exceeding £l,OOO. There is one clause in the will we quote in his own words---.' And hare I wish to explain that there are no legacies given to religions or charitable institutions by this my will, because it has always appeared to me more proper to make such gifts in the lifetime, and this I have been in the habit of doing constantly during a period of more than forty years." THE WOMEN'S DUEL.—Some additional facts in connexion with this caee, some of the extraordinary features of which were reported in The Sun a day or two ago, have transpired since the committal of the prisoner for trial to Lincoln it ssizes. The attempt by theprisonsr (Martha unwell, it will De recollected, was most determined, and her intended victim had an exceedingly narrow escape. The pri• soner, in company with Miss Johnson and four otheryouog ladies, was quietly returning home to Springthorpe, after visiting Gainsborough, It was a quiet, I,vely evening, and the party had arrived at a lonely part of the road, near Somerby-wood, when the prisoner, without any quarrel, or the slightest intimation of her pur r ose, threatened to shoot Miss Johnson, and at once fired deliberately at her face. The muzzle of the pistol was so close to Miss Johnson that her forehead was scorched, and the only circumstance which, humanly speaking, thwarted the prisoner's diabolical pur pose was the heavy charge of the pistol. This caused the weapon when fired to be deflected upwards, and the con tents, in c. nscquence, went harmlessly over head. The: recoil of the pistol, however, caused the upper part of the cock to strike the prisoner's hand wish con siderable violence, inflicting on her a severe flesh wound. This created a diversion in her victim's favour, and, in all probability, enabled her, by escaping, to avoid a second shot, for the prisoner Fursued her with the pistol in one hand and the other hand in her pocket, apparently with the intention of reloading the pistol, as a supply of balls, shots, powder, and caps were afterwards found in her pockets. Miss Johnson, however, safely escaped to the nearest farmhouse, and the prisoner, finding her designs baffiA, went on to Springthorpe. Miss Johnson had been in the habit o of a t h music to the prisoner's pupils, but some iuse g ciug quarrel took place between her and the pi i 'ago sonar. She continued, however, her ptofessional visits, and on several occasions remained at the prisoner's all night. When staying there the prisoner eevetal times threatened in the middle of the night to shoot her, at the same time pointing a pistol at her, and on one of these occasions Miss Johnson saw that the pistol was loaded with ball. Since the prisoner's committal the police have discovered that the pistol with which the deed was attempted to be committed wa. purchased about a fortnight previously. Thy prisoner has voluntarily informed the police how she loaded it. She first, she says, put in two thimblefuls of powder, then some shot, and at !he top a ball or bullet. On her way to Lincoln Castle, teem to await her trial, she drew the at- tension o f th e policeman who had charge of her to the spot where executions take place at that city, and said, " I should havo been proud to have hung there it only I had accom plished my purpose." She even went further, and said it she were at liberty and had the chance she would still carry out her intention. A. book which belonged to the prisoner has been found containing the draught of a will dated the very day of the attempted murder, and a statement of ac counts, all posted up to that day. She repeatedly informed the police that she had gone to Gainborough on the night in question with the inn determination either of in ducing Mias Johnson to let bygones bo bygones and visit her on the same terms as formerly, or of shoo big her and then herself. prisoner has b.ivn National schoolmistress at Springthorpe bbout nine years. She is a married woman, about 45 yea rs of age, but has been livirg apart from her husband for man y years. There can be n o doubt about her having th e ful l possession of her fa c ulties. In the evidence be fore t he magistrates men tion was made of a quarrel which took place between Miss John son and the prisoner about eighteen months ago. The cause of this quarrel has not been made clear, but, from the prisonet's own statements, it seems to have had something to do with the school. S e veral of her pupils had left her school to go to another one that had been established in the village. These pupils Miss Johnson went to teach, and discontinued her visits to the prisoner. At this the prisoner was very much annoyed, and she has been brooding over the matter ever since—so much so that for weeks together, as she told the police, she had no sleep. She therefore resolved to end it one way or the other. Prisoner does not seem to feel the position in which she is placed the least. FISHING BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.--A first attempt was made to fish by eleotrie ligut a short time since at Dunkirk. The light wag supplied by a pile on Bunsen's principle, composed of about 50 elements, and it succeeded tolerably well, but the etoPloyment of the pile was attended with much inconvenience. It was then determined to repeat the attempt with a magneto-electric machine. The new experiments tried at Dunkirk and Ostend had a double object-1, to prove how the light pro duced by the machine would act under water; and 2, to discover the effect the light would produce on the fish. The first object was completely accomplished, and it is now demonstrated that magneto-electric machines and the light they produce are applicable to all submarine woiks. In fact, this light was constant at 180 feet under water, and it extended over a large surface. The machine, nevertheless, was placed at a distance of more than 300 feet from the regulator of the electric light. The glass sides of the lantern remained perfectly transperent, aad the quantity of coal consumed were less than if it were in the open air. The other day, a not very prepossessing looking person, named Sohn Doherty, about 22 years of age, made an application at the Leeds Police office for the situation of "hangman for the West Riding." He said he belonged to Glasgow, and hearing that Leeds h been made an assize town, naturally concluded that a hangman would be wanted, and started off :o make a personal appli cation. He expressed himself quire able to " serag'em," as h te , rned it, although the (nil), emperience he bail had was iu having seen two persons executed at Glasgow. He was referred to the High Sheriff of the orantr, UtIFERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—Last Evening, ROYAL COMMISSION.

The Royal Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Viscount Sydney, and Earl St, Germans. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. ABOLITION OF TOLL-GATES. Lord RAVENS WORTH said a great social reform had taken effect that day, viz., the aboliton of the toll-gates in certain districts of the metropolis. He begged to thank her Msjesty's Government for having carried out the recom mendations of the royal commission, and he concluded his observations by asking what steps had been taken for giving to other suburban districts of the metropolis the same free dom that had been conferred on the north-western, Earl Ci RANVILLE said he would make inquiry in the prop-r quarier, and communicate the result of the enqui ries to the nobly lord. OYSTER FISLIERIES (ENGLAND AND WALES) BILL. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the second reading of this bill. The Duke of RICHMOND. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, and the Earl of DONOUGHMORE appealed to the noble lord not to press his bill to a secona reading before the Royal Commission appointed to consider the subject of the deep sea fisheries had made their report. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE c. - insented to with draw the bill, and the order for its second reading was therefore read and discharged. GOVERNMENT ANNUITIES BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY moved the second reading of this bill. The motion was agreed to. SUMMARY PROCEDURE (SCOTLAND) BILL. The report of amendments to this bill was brought up and received.

CATHEDRAL AND MI CORPORATIONS BILL. This bill passed through committee. SERVANT'S HIRING (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill was withdrawn. AGRARIAN OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. The Earl of DONOUG li MORE moved that considezin the extent to which agrarian outrages prevail in certain counties in Ireland, and the difficulty which exists in ob taining convictions for offences of this description, this house is of opinion that the power of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to remit the whole or a portion of the sentences of persons convicted of such crimes should be exercised with greater care and c rcumspection; and this house observes with regret that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland orderedthe release of Michael Durgan, Patrick Durgan, and Patrick Egan, prisoners under sentence for an agrarian offence, con fined in the county gaol of Westitisath, upon grounds which appear to be insufficient. In the county of Westmeath there had been for some time a sort of hidden war carried on against the rights of property and against those who took part in vindicating them. Several of the judges had pointed the attention of the grand juries to the atrocious character of the crimes perpetrated in Westmeath ; they were not sud den outbursts of passion, but the result of a systematic course of outrage, resulting from the mysterious operations of the Ribbon conspiracy. The noble earl then entered into the details of a number of cases in order to show the che rec'er of the agrarian crime in this county, and its connec tion with the Ribbon organisation; and he also mentioned several instances in which men who had been convicted and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment or penal servitude had been released by the Lord Lieutenant before the termi nation of their sentences, and allowed te 6 ,, doubt to enlist others in the secret society to which they be longed. The men to whose case he was now calling atten tion were convicted of a gross agrarian outrage on the pre mises of a man named Doolan. He believed it was said, in justification of the course which the Lord Lieutenant had taken in remitting a portion of their sentence, that there was a doubt as to their identity. But, so far was that trcm being the ease, that they were identified in the clearest manner by witnesses who saw them distinctly and had known them previously. The cause of their release must, therefore, be sought elsewhere. The truth was that the Lord Lieutenant had yielde . Fl to a memo rial sent to him. He had previously rejected one which was signed by 47 people in a very inferior grade of life, and he (Lord Donoughmore) should like to know whether Chief Justice Monahan, who tried these men, was then consulted, and if so, what answer he returned. The second memorial was signed by Mr Bury, a Presbyterian minister, who was understood to entertain very peculiar views with regard to punishment. And within six days teem its receipt these man were liberated. lie wanted to know whether Chief Justice Monahan was con' ulted on this occasion. On neither occasion was any local inquiry made, nor were any of the magistrates or grand jurors of the county consulted, a mat ter of which he thought they had good right to complain. The men having been released, there was within a few days afterwards a renewal of agrarian outrages in the neigh bourhood. Two out of three men who had been released had previously left the country ; and almost immedately the police began to make an inquiry with reference to the perpetrators of these crimes, the third man also disappeared trom the neighbourhood, ehowing clearly his guiity con science. This kind of conduct on the part of his Excellency was like that of Nero, fiddling when Rome was burning. He knew the Lord Lieutenant was a very amiable man; but they required a man of firmness and courage to admi• nister the 1.. w in Ireland, His lordship's clemency to Rib. bon conspirators was death to the well disposed. Earl GRANVILLE said that this motion was one of a most unusual character, for it asked their lordships to interfere with the manner in which the Royal preroga tive was administered, and to censure strongly the per son who was now entrusted with the exercise of that prerogative. He was confident that the House would not pass such a resolution unless they were satisfied that there Lad been some gross want of discretion, or some corrupt motive, on the part of the person whose conduct was complained of. He regretted very much the state of Westmeath. which was no doubt very unsatisfactory ; but it really had nothing to do with the present case, which turned entirely upon a quest ion of identity. Although the prisoners were identified by one witness, they ware not identified by others who were present at the same time. An alibi was, m,,reover, set up, and Chief Justice Monahan in reporting on the case, spoke of it as one of great difficulty, and said that he did liot know how he should have voted if he had been on the jury. That being the case, he could net think that this was an improper case for the exercise of the royal prerogative of mercy. After a few words from the Marquis of WESTMEATH and the Duke of LzeiesTEE, The Earl of LEITRIM made a vehement attack on the Lord Lieutenant. • Lord CHELMSFORD said that it had not been made out that the Lord Lieutenant had improperly exercised his discretion in this case, and he therefore trusted that the noble earl would withdraw the motion. The Earl of DONO U GLIMORE then withdrew the motion. WINDOW BREAKING IN IRELAND. The Earl of LEITRIM then moved for certain papers relating to some windows being broken at Eskeragh, alias Esker South, in the parish of Mohill, borough of Mohill, county of Leitrim, between the 24th and 30 , h day of March, 1864. His lordship detained the house nearly a quarter of au hour in detailing the particulars of this case, which he made the medium of another violent attack upon the Earl of Carlisle. He concluded by denouncing the noble earl as a traitor to his Queen, his country, and his religion. Earl GRANVILLE declined to defend Earl Carlisle agat such observations. He was ready to give a portion of the vipers asked for. The motion as amended was then agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned. --- HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening, The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Sir H. NVILLTA:%NoN, Bart., took the oaths and his seat on his election for North Durham, in the room of Lord A. Vane Tempe st, deceased. DURHAM UNIVERSITY BILL. This bill was read a third time. ROYAL COMMISSION. Colonel CLIFFORD, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, summoned the Speaker and the members to hear the royal assent given by commission to different bills, for which see Lords' report. THE HUDSON BAY COMPANY. Mr MILLS gave notice that on an early day he would call attention to the affait s of this cempany, QUEBEC. Mr ADDERLEN asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether, orders having been sent for concen trating a large British force at Quebec, steps are also being taken to put that place in a defensible state.? Mr CARDWELL said a report had been received, and a statement would be made on the subject. TRAFFIC ON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. Sir J. SHELLEY asked the First Commissioner of Works, whether he had inquired as to the traffic on West- mil:later-bridge, and would state the reason why the police do not interfere in the regulation of the traffic, so as to divide the heavy from the fast traffic, there being tram- ways laid down on the bridge, which must tend to facilitate regulations which have had the best results on London- bridge, Mr COWPER repeated in substance the statements that he had previously made, to the effect that the police were not justified in interfering in these matters of traffic except under special circumstances. THE LADIES' GALLERY IN THE COI\IMO:\T.S. Sir G. 130WYELI, asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, for the purpos3 of providing for the due ventilation and comfort of the Ladies' Galhry, he would give directions for the removal of the gracing in front of that Gallery ? Atter some remarks by Sir T, BATESON, Mr CO WPB It said that in regard to the question of the ventilation of the gallery, he had done all in his power to promote the comfort of the ladies; but as respected the other portion of the question, he believed it did not come within his functions. It had been thought that it was desirable to have the grating, in order to prevent the mem bers being exposed to the very dangerous influence of having the ladies exposed to their view and looking down upon them. (Laughter.) Sir G. BO WYER said that when it was considered that he ladies in the House of Lords sat in an open gallery, and lat without 'exercising any such dangerous influences as [hat alluded to by the right hon. gentleman, he did not think, therefore, the members of the House of Commone would run any greater risk than noble lords in having the ladies sitting in an open gallery. (Laughter.) ENDOWED SCHOOLS. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Sir J. PAKINGTON asked whether he would bo in order in bringing forward the following motion, of which he had given notice :—That, in the opinion of the house, the mode in which it is proposed by the minute of the 11th day of March, 1861, to make grants to endowed schools, and the distinction made by the same minute, between endowed schools in the country and in towns are unsatis factory and unjust. The SPEAKER explained, that according to the rules of the house, when a question had been already decided, it could not be brought on again in the same session. Sir J. P AKING fON said that of course he must bow to the decision of the right hon. gentleman; but the question could not rest where it stood at present, and he or some other member would bring it forward next session. He contended that it was necessary to have an educational de partment with a responsible Minister at its head. Such a Minister would devote his attention to the subject, and could not fail to see the impropriety of effecting a saving of a few thousand pounds annually when it ias obtained at the expense of so important a question as national educa tion. (Hear, hear.) NAVAL ARCHITECTURE. Mr. AUGUSTUS SMITH moved that the New School of Neval Architecture ought to be established in imme diate connection with one of the chief naval arsenals, where the students might have, together with scientific lectures of a high order, the benefit of regular, progressive, and continuous instruction in every branch of practical shipbuilding, as well as constant opportunities of inspecting and studying steam and other machinery, the varied armaments and numerous operations in the docking, fitting out, and working of every species of vessel embraced in the Royal Navy; and that the South Kensington establishments and museums are altogether wanting in the educational staff and means of application for said school. He drew the attention of the house to the importance of this question, and appealed to the Government to pause before carrying out their present intention. Sir J.PAKINGTON explained that it was in his capacity of President of the Society of Naval Architects, and not as a Minister of the Crown, that he had when in office,recom mended th 3 establishment of this school of naval archi tecture. He referred to the report of Mr Scott Russell to show the necessity that existed for such an institution, when they were obliged to send their children to France to receive instruction in naval architecture. He had not heard the slightest dissent expressed by any shipbuilder of eminence in this country as to this school of naval architecture. Lord C. I'AGET defended the school. and cited the authority of an eminent and practical official on the subject in support of his view. The motion was then withdrawn. Mr TREHERNE called attention to the injury which the staple trades of Coventry had suffered, and were still suffering, from the operation of the commercial treaty with France—and asked the Government whether they would use their influence with the French Government to obtain the same free admission into France of English ribbons and watches as was accorded by that treaty, on the principle of free trade, to French manufactures of a similar description ;ato Eagl,od._ _ Sir J. PAXTON thought that the retention of a duty upon the import of ribbons into France was a defect in the commercial treaty with that country, and urged upon the Gcvernment the necessity of making representations to the Emperor of the French with the view of inducing him to remit the impost. Mr GIBSON would be glad to see a better market created on the Continent for cheap ribbons manufactured at Coventry. It could not be said, however, that the existing rates of duty on ribbons going into France were exorbitant, though he granted that they stood in the way of trade in the interior sorts; but he was happy to find that during the first five months of the present year there was a considerable increase in the export of British silk rib bons. He did not regard the distress that hai prevailed et Coventry as a result of the French treaty, or as that which it was within the power of legislation to remove. Her Majesty's Government would be only too glad to see the same freedom of import existing in France and other countries that we had permitted those countries to enjoy here. Mr NEWDEGATE stated that the depression of the Coventry trade, consequent upon the new commercial ar rangements, hal been such as to drive between 11,000 and 12,000 people from the district. He hoped the Govern ment would represent to the Emperor that whereas France had reaped great advantage , ' from that treaty, it was only tair and just to place English silk goods, and particularly ribbons, imported nto France upon the same footing as that upon which French goods were received in this count ry. The subject then dropped, and the house soon after went into committee of supply. Mr R. BRUCE moved the remainder of the vote for eoucation, and in doing so entered into a variety of statistics is explanation of the distribution of the grants, the nuwber of schools in operation, the pupils attending them, anti the general effects produced by the new revised code. A lengthened discusion ensued, in which Mr Adderley, Lord R. Cecil. Sir S. Northcote, Sir J. Pakington, Lord H. Vane, Sir G. Bowyer, Mr Lowe, Mr Lygon, and Mr Pugh took part, and the so-termed " Conscience clauses" were submitted to considerable criticism, Ultimately the vote was agreed to non. con, On the vote of £97,582 for the Department of Science and Art, Mr A. SMITH moved to reduce the amount by £15,000, the sum required for new buildings; but upon a division the amendment was rejected by 131 to 73. The vote was then agreed to, and the Chairman reported progress. PENAL SERVITUDE ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. Bit G. GREY explained the Lords' amendments to this bill, most of which were considered and agreed to. Mr HUNT moved that the house should disagree with the next amendment. The clause, as sent up to the Lords, required that the holder of a licence, when at large, should be re quired to report himself within three days of his arrival at any place to the head of the police, and subse quently once a month. The Lords struck out " once in each month," and left the question whether the licence holder should report himself at all, after the first time, to the conditions of this licence. Sir G. GREY hoped the house would agree with the amendment, which was rather beneficial than not, being framed to. meet the case of the Irish female convicts. The hon. member objected to the amendment because he seemed to think that the failure of the convict to report himself would not make him liable to any other penalty than the revocation of his licence. That was not the case, as the fifth clause would make him liable to a misdemeanour. He objected to the monthly reporting of a convict, because he believed it would act as an absolute bar to convicts, at least in England, obtaining an honest living. After a few words from Mr Ayrton, Mr Moore, and Sir Hugh Cairns, who said that he should vote against the Lords' amendment, on tie ground that it would interfere with the Irish system, which had worked so well, The house divided, with the following result — For the Lords' amendment B4 Against it Majority The remaining amendments were then agreed to. GREEK LOAN BILL. On the motion for the ihird reading of this bill, Colonel DUNNE pointed out that, according to the treaty, the dotation to the King o f Greece was otIlY far the period that he might occupy the Greek throne, while in the bill it was made payable for his life, He wished to know whether the other party to the treaty agreed to the payment being for life, or only while sing George remained upon the throne. The C tIANCELLOR of th e E XCHEQUER replied that the Government did not think it vise to grant the dotation at the present time beyond the period of the King's reign.

It appears that the unfortunate crea ture, who is not snore than SO years of age, was alone in the house at the time, with the exception of her family, consisting of five small children, and having newly taken the premises, she, in the absence of her husband, put the children safely to bed, and then descending to the lower past of the house, began to put the place in order, taking a lighted candle with her. Her cries having alarmed the neightoure, and the police observing the flames through the basement windows, they got into the premises, and there they found the poor woman in a complete bleza from head to foot. As promptly as possible 'he fire was extinguished, but the sufferer had ceased to exist. Medical assistance was called in and other efforts used, but it was found to be a hopeless case, life having Treen destroy ed LT the fearful element. It is supposed (tle candlesticle being found on the floor) that she had set it thoughtlessly down And her dress having caught the flame it ignited, and hence 'he calamity. The requisite information has been sent to ilr Payne, the coroner, relali?e to the unfortunate occur rence.
